Steve 'Mongo' McMichael and ALS

The legendary Chicago Bears defensive lineman was diagnosed with ALS in 2021. In part of 2023, Mongo's health was improving. In February 2024, he was admitted to the ICU fighting an infection but got better, and eventually, he went home.

But now the McMichael family is asking for prayers for the 66-year-old as he undergoes further testing and will update fans as soon as they can.
